Really appreciate this level of customer service. Was told they'll be expanding their gluten free options in 2025. Highly recommended for those concerned about food allergies. All in all, the bakery was clean, staff was helpful, and the pastries were nicely displayed.

They make a new assortment of baked goods every day, which is cool. We ordered a blueberry scone, banana chocolate muffin and zucchini cranberry muffin. The blueberry scone was ok - thankfully not dry but also not sweet enough. The banana chocolate muffin was the star though, super moist and flavorful. My wife said the zucchini cran muffin was solid too. Nice spot, will be back again when next in the area!

I walked away with the Tres Leches (3 milk) cake and their Coconut cream tart as well as a slice of pound cake to snack on. My friend had the same coconut cream tart and ordered a bunch of their cookies - neither of us were complaining. I practically inhaled my tres leches cake. The owner is friendly as well. When I asked her which 3 milks did she use for her tres leches cake, I asked because the recipe I use has coconut milk. She said that she can't use coconut milk because "this is Connecticut" which I'm guessing means that even something as bland as coconut milk is probably too exotic for Connecticut WASPs. Still I hope this place sticks around because her offerings are wonderful and Woodbury needs some a dose of exoticness.

Very helpfully they post a cookie of the day by the register so you can see what offerings they have available. They included the staples like chocolate chip and vanilla, but also Oreo M&M. They also have very fancy iced cookies, and judging by the ones available must also do custom work. The kitchen is in the same space and obviously very clean. Definitely a great place for a sweet snack or to pick up a dessert!

The only thing we don't like are the other desserts in the case. There has only been one thing that we have enjoyed, and it was a Mango Toaster Pastry from our first visit.

There are different seating options including a back room which houses a beautiful yellow sofa, blue chairs, coffee table, and three arcade games. There is also a large room downstairs to rent out for gatherings such as birthday parties. Such a nice idea! The gluten-free cupcakes were soft, rich and yummy. I wish I had more. There was a really nice guy working the day I came in. He has been working for Hardcore Sweet Bakery for two years. He was very helpful and answered all of my many questions. He's a keeper! The only thing this place is missing is coffee. Then it would be absolutely perfect. Love this place! Snack and stay awhile.

My wife and I stop bye frequently to grab the ham and cheese (I think it is Emmantal or Gruyère) stuffed croissants. The croissants are buttery, flaky, and flat out good.

The Andouille sausage bread is fantastic also. Several of my family members rave about their coffee too, but I have not had it yet. Shop is clean and the service is always friendly. Will be back...maybe tomorrow. Give them a shot. You won't be disappointed.

They have a dining room that seats about 50, and a bar that seats around eight. They also have a very cute outdoor seating area covered by a large awning. The menu is Continental cuisine leaning toward Italian, and is very well balanced where everyone should he able to find a satisfying meal. Our experience began with a couple of very unique "East Side Martinis", vodka, cucumber, muddled mint and lime.....so good I had to have a second one! We were then treated (gratis) to the absolutely best bruschetta I've ever eaten.....loaded with chopped tomato, onion, and garlic. Fantastico! For an entree I had the Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin Medallions with mashed potatoes and braised cabbage. A perfect melding of complimentary flavors. This restaurant clearly has no issues with making very flavorful choices when it comes to spices and accents. The wife had the Chicken Special with fettuccine and lemon butter white wine sauce that was also very flavorful and excellent. Everything was so good that we had to get dessert, a slice of Almond Joy pie to go. The owner, Sue, a baker / chef, is typically in attendance, and has heen running the restaurant for ten years now. Our server, Jen, was attentive and experienced. They have a Happy Hour on Monday through Friday 3 to 6 pm. I'd highly recommend this place for everyone! UPDATE: Ate the Almond Joy pie the next day. The crushed almond & chocolate crust was incredible, and the chocolate glazed coconut was delicious.

I definitely want to go back and try more items to give this place a full review but I enjoyed most the pastries I got! I did agree it was a little overpriced and I didn't like that the receipt wasn't itemized so I didn't know what pastries cost what. I absolutely loved the chocolate and pistachio rolls they were delicious and the Dubai chocolate was great too. My friend said she enjoyed the tres leches cake and it looked moist. What I didn't enjoy was the chocolate chip cookie it was dry and looked kinda old and also the cinnamon bun was really dry could have used more icing or more filling? But I would definitely try this place again and see what other items I don't like. It's worth a stop just try what looks good to you.
